<div dir="ltr">Welcome Lana! Super excited you're here. <br><br>Lately our work has been about keeping the install guide fixed by backporting bug fixes to it. We're going to do release planning at the Summit itself, and we'll meet afterwards to start parceling out the work there. If you want an overview of the blueprints, which are the way we plan the work, take a look at <a href="http://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals">http://blueprints.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals</a>. <br>
<br>One great starting task is to take a book and apply the document conventions to it and spell check. We have two bugs that we use to track that in an ongoing basis: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1121866">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1121866</a>, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1217503">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1217503</a><br>
<br>Also, in addition to looking through the bug queue for items of interest, take a look at the Rackspace private cloud docs and see what might be useful to upstream docs that doesn't already exist. Also, please keep an eye on the review queue. Here's what you can search for on <a href="http://review.openstack.org">review.openstack.org</a> to see active reviews in all the docs repos:<br>

<br>
Today is my first day as a technical writer at Rackspace, so I thought I'd drop a line to the mailing list to introduce myself.<br>
<br>
I've been working on Red Hat documentation for the past six years or so, primarily cloud-based, so Openstack isn't too much of an ideological or technological leap for me. I've been a tech writer for about eight years all up, and I also have a postgraduate degree in technical communications (as well as business degrees in information systems and marketing).<br>
<br>
I'm working with the Australian engineering group under Michael Still. I'm based in Brisbane, but I should hopefully have the chance to meet up with other contributors around the world from time to time.<br>
<br>
You can find me all over the internet, primarily at G+ (<a href="http://plus.google.com/109940408979717402314" target="_blank">http://plus.google.com/<u></u>109940408979717402314</a>) and Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/loquacities" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/<u></u>loquacities</a>), and at <a href="http://lanabrindley.com" target="_blank">http://lanabrindley.com</a>.<br>
<br>
I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
